以文化動力模式照護越南籍移民女性在臺灣的健康需求

Using the Cultural Leverage Model to Care for the Health Needs of Female Vietnamese Immigrants in Taiwan

由於跨國婚姻，近年來東南亞移民人口數在台灣有持續增加情形，而這已間接影響台灣人口結構。內政部統計資料呈現台灣目前婚姻中四對新人裡，就有一對是跨國婚姻。而在這些移民者中，越南籍女性於1996年開始就已成為來自東南亞女性中的第二大群體。然而，可惜的是，對於這些越南籍新移民者相關的健康照護之文獻，特別是以文化觀點所提供的措施，仍是不足。本文的目的就是透過介紹文化動力模式，和示範如何使用此模式所建議的三項措施於台灣越南籍新移民女性的健康需要。期望將來醫療人員在照護越南籍新移民女性時，不僅是以一般治療方式照護她們的疾病，而是必須提供含有文化敏感性和適當的健康照護措施。

Due to transnational marriages, an increasing number of recent women immigrants from Southeast Asian had affected Taiwan’s demographic structures. Statistical data provided by the Ministry of Interior presented that approximately one out of four marriages in Taiwan were transnational marriage. Among these immigrants, Vietnamese women immigrants had been the second largest immigrants group in Taiwan since 1996. However, the literatures about the healthcare needs of Vietnamese women immigrants in Taiwan, especially the ones on measures and interventions from their cultural perspective, remain insufficient. The purpose of this paper was to introduce the cultural leverage model and to demonstrate how to use this model to care for Vietnamese women immigrants’ health needs in Taiwan. In conclusion, the healthcare providers need to be concerned not only with Vietnamese women immigrants’ illness but also in providing culturally sensitive and appropriate healthcare.
